Escape to the tranquility and elegance of this quaint Swiss-inspired oasis just four hours north of the metro.
Rising on the idyllic side of Baguio City, where the air is fresh, cool, and crisp, is an exquisite vertical village that lets future residents gloriously bask in Cordillera’s green mountain idyll, with its pristine wooded slopes, majestic pine trees, and breathtaking sceneries.
Swiss mountain lifestyle
Bern, a four-tower high-end condominium development by Brittany Corp., will soon emerge as a premium address for those wishing to live that ultimate dreamy Swiss mountain lifestyle, all steeped in luxury and tranquility. And there’s no doubt about this.
After all, the luxury residential arm of the country's largest homebuilder, Vista Land & Lifescapes Inc., is bringing a slice of the Alpine paradise to the City of Pines—much like what it did for its highly successful Crosswinds, a 100-ha Swiss-inspired development in Tagaytay City where you can find beautiful themed neighborhoods set amid some 35,000 towering pine trees.
Bern will certainly be the perfect follow-through for Crosswinds, as this promising residential enclave will be Brittany’s first high-end condominium project in the City of Pines.
Traditional Alpine elements
With its Alpine facade, Bern will be a beautiful addition to Baguio City’s skyline.
Its architectural design will incorporate traditional alpine elements for its exterior while the interiors will have softer design elements combined with an array of traditional Cordillera art and top-of-the-line amenities that exude warmth and comfort.
This chalet-style condominium development will come with everything you need to unwind, dine, and entertain.
Generous, flexible spaces
Three configurations offer generous and flexible spaces that let owners personalize their units to accommodate their lifestyles while they get to soak in the beautiful views of Baguio City from every angle.
A 46-sqm one-bedroom suite presents panoramic nature views from the comfort of your bedroom and private balcony, while the 51-sqm one-bedroom corner suite offers the right proportion between living space and room.
The 101 sqm two-bedroom suite is ideal for those eyeing a well-proportioned, well-designed living space with stylish functionality. This unit has a generously sized balcony that can be transformed into a private garden or a seamless living room extension.
With these cuts, Bern ensures your exclusivity and privacy as there will only be four to eight units per floor, making it one of the most premium, low-density developments in Baguio.
Smart-ready unitS
At Bern, peace of mind and comfort are the main priorities. Brittany recognizes that technology is now an intrinsic part of people’s lives, thus, making the units smart-ready, which can be adaptively and easily updated over time to support the varying needs of the residents.
Unique peak experiences
Bern will integrate the latest lifestyle features and amenities that ensure comfort, convenience, and unique peak experiences. An exclusive amenity area at the towers’ peak will allow residents to enjoy the wide range of amenities and facilities that will be unparalleled in the city.
Bern gives residents an imaginative, dedicated space featuring Jacuzzis and family lounges with fire pits. Families and friends can spend quality time here, having relaxed, intimate conversations without needing to go out of the building.
Amenities set to revitalize the body and restore the spirit can also be found here, designed to complement your active lifestyle. It hosts a gym, sauna, yoga, and pilates studio for the exclusive use of the residents.
Bern’s peak amenity is iconic as it not only provides gorgeous views but can also double as an entertainment space home to a game room and view decks. Plush seats are great for chats, while function rooms can accommodate the residents’ private events and intimate celebrations.
Relax and appreciate nature with an indoor-outdoor bar and get on the view deck to have a picturesque view of the city while enjoying the company of family and friends.
Where leisure is the order of the day
Bern features an extensive selection of features and amenities available for its residents. At Bern, prestige is as unmistakable as leisure is the order of the day.
Residents can enjoy the magnificent panoramic views with Bern’s tranquil spaces specially designed for quiet escapes, such as jogging paths, serenity walk, pocket gardens, and dedicated areas for children’s play.
Lifestyle destinations
Besides Bern, Brittany offers a fine selection of home designs, high-end condominiums, and lot-only properties in excellent locations, such as Portofino in Alabang, Lausanne in Tagaytay, and Georgia Club in Sta. Rosa, Laguna.

I’m counting my days til it’s the holidays. My laptop has been out of commission and when you buy it from a very popular brand that require your laptop to be sent abroad, rest assured that you will be w forever to get it.
How does one live without the item of the centruty? Well, work certainly took a toll but what I appreciate is discovering a new website. Solitaire.Org, that kept sane during long queues and dragging moments when i can’t binge wathc my favorite shows.
Contrary to the popluar habits, I don’t like watchng on my phone so I end up playing games instead. And I must say I got really good at it. First of all, Solitaire.org do not require you to download stuff. I’ve been roadtesting it on my latp before and I got pretty addicted. My favorite was Hidden Objects! My gush! I can truly spend hours on this online game. It’s addicting, it’s consoling and truly during my axiety moments helped me sync back.
Play with Nostalgia
The game brings me back to good ‘ol days of simple games you can search online. No need to download anything, you simply have to type Solaire.org and you’re there. There’s a standalone web app is you don’t want the scroll moving.
I can’t tell how many time this site brought me to some fun memories! Playing Solitaire.Org, Klondike, Zuma Balls and and even Cookie Monster brings me back to my childhood and isn’t that the trend nowadays?
Responds very well
Coming from a country where signal is questionable, I was also suprised how fast this site responds. My kids can get prettyannoying when we are waiting so I got no chocie but to hand them my phone to play and believe me, this site is a lifesaver for a momma like! No matter where we are, all the games respond well.
Kid-Friendly
I like a site that I can be secure and be confident as a mom, believe me, child-friendly apps can get hella expensive. the kids got some new gadgets from their Godparents this year and I can say that Solitaire.org has some cool and easy games my 8-year old can enjoy. She loves Flower Shop. I personaly sneak in some learning with Word Search.
Doesn’t this bring you back to buying those thick word search books? Now I can do that with my tiny phone easily! How convenient!
BEST WAY TO PAST THE TIME
The things about these games are they are not really for me something I need to truly finish from beginning to end. They are easily there when I have to rest my brain, when I’m waiting in line, and when I get bored or just so I can feel I can control something. And with the traffic my city endures, I can only say that a quick and accessible game website like Solitaire.org is what the doctor prescribes!
Yes, we're talking about bras! Finally, right? But if you're not into intimates... then I guess, you're lucky because everything you have fits and it matches your lifestyle. As for me, after losing 13 kilos in the past 8 months. I've only acquired 1 new bra since and boy was I glad I waited.
Triumph released a new technology that matches all my needs when it comes to intimate wear. As a mother, I fear the inevitable. These babies have started their descent and are going and gone since losing sooo much. I need a partner that keeps the ladies up and proud as they should be... breastfeeding my two daughters and actually still having a hard time weaning the second.
With Bea Fabrega, new mom and fitness advocate as their new ambassador, I was all ears with how Triumph has made her life easier. So in between inspiring discussions with host, Issa Litton, I was glad to know the girl had the same dilemmas as I do. Like her, she needs intimate wear that changes as much as roles on a daily.
The non-wired, ultra-lightweight Flex Smart Collection is meant to follow every move. From motherhood to getting the sweat down at the gym to just what have you's, the flex bra has specially designed inserts that adpats to the body's movement. Isn't that just amazing?
And I did feel that exact same thing when I started wearing them, Not only is the bra t-shirt friendly, the smooth fabric was airy and it the inserts weren't a bother at all. I love that the inserts were next-level. As a breastfeeding mom, I've come across many inserts in y bras and this one is the thinnest but seamless as they can be. It doesn't matter if you use it indoors or outdoors or the freaking whole, day, it doesn't matter.
I love the pull-on top because I can go from waking up getting ready to do my day, running errands, teaching the kids, and then yoga at night before I end my day. Love love love the fit!
I love the pull-on top because I can go from waking up getting ready to do my day, running errands, teaching the kids and then yoga at night before I end my day. Love love love the fit!
There are so many choices and sizes that I think matches a lot of Filipina body type. I'm so glad to see more minimalist designs that are quite in the affordable range. It's been quite difficult to acquire one.
Triumph's Flex Smart Collection comes in 4 easy sizes from small to extra-large and in a selection of stylish colors such as sea foam green, light blue gray, nude pink, and aubergine. Available in all Triumph Specialty Stores, selected Department Stores nationwide and online on Lazada, Shopee, Zalora.
Are you ready to say goodbye to your electric fans? Are you having a hard time dealing with the dust, the noise, and the not-so-aesthetically pleasing look of this.. well vintage appliances?
Thank you to Omar, Millet and the rest of the team for giving me a chance to see LG AeroTower before it went out into the market. And LG Philippines for the continuous innovation that improves the Filipino lives! I claim to have an AeroTower by the end of the year!
I must say the humming sound doesn't please me anymore since we switched to an inverter aircon that doesn't make a noise at all. But let's face it we live in a country that requires an electric fan. Having aircon is nice but electricity bills limit us in its usage 24/7. Believe me, I've tried. I use to dread seeing my blood pressure levels but now I dread seeing my monthly electric bills.
Enter the world of pretty-looking "electric fans". Nope! These ain't the vintage looing fans they sell for so much but you otherwise get the same technology. One of the things I saw are what LG appliances call Aerotower. A sleek machine that does more than an archaic electric fan.
One thing to note... it's QUIET! And it makes tons of air. But What else makes this amazing is the advanced technology inside this gorgeous machinery! It's soooo pretty and it's so intelligent. I think we match, right? LOLS.
This P20,000 machine is the best thing for a beautiful home.
LG, the most and if not the best South Korean technology company boasts of the Puricare technology and combined it with a cooling fan. To be honest, calling this a fan is such a demeaning term. Sadly my vocabulary needs improvement because the AeroTower really does the basics by proving cooling air but more so it feels like a real breeze coming into otherwise humid surroundings.
I got a chance to try this machine myself during their event attend by the creme de la creme of the Metro and she was the host as well. Tessa Prieto-Valdez knows the quality upon the quality and we all know she lives in luxury. Suffice to say, AeroTower gor her expensive seal of approval. Who else is there? LG Ambassador Sofia Andres and the gorgeous Shamcey Supsup - a queen no less.
To make share medical data and how important clean air is to every living being, the good-looking doctor, Dr. Jansen Calalan is also present. Such an eye candy doctor I thought I was in an episode of Grey's anatomy.
But enough about him, the most handsome thing I truly laid eyes on is the technology and the sleek design of LG"s Aerotower. I felt incredibly sad knowing I will probably never have enough moolah to acquire one and sad that I didn't win when they raffled one of them. But very much happy a friend of mine did!
LG Philippines Product Manager, Jave Enriquez highlighted the features and aesthetically pleasing design of the new AeroTower. Inspired by the Red Canyon, it is a part appliance and part work of art, adding elegance to any space in your home or work. It gives three different airflows that fit to your liking. There are 10-speed settings and virtually quieter than a library for only 23 decibels. It also tells you the air quality so you can breathe cool and pure, clean air.
The AeroTower is operated in three different ways - through manual touch control on the unit, through remote control, and also using LG’s ThinQ app. Anything I can control using my phone or Alexa is God's gift to me. I think I need to set aside a jar and save up soon.
Suffice to say given how enticing they've made the AeroTower by placing it amidst gorgeous interior vignettes of the furniture gallery where they held the event, AeroTower adds more to beautify a space compared to your drastic electric fans. An upgrade through and through!
Architect and beauty queen, Shamcey Supsup-Lee, gushed about how the AeroTower perfectly blends form and function. “Even if the AeroTower was just a fan or just an air purifier, it can hold its own with any designer furniture or artwork on display. The mere fact that it works as both is astounding.” LG brought in Dr. Jansen Calalan, a lifestyle medicine specialist, who talked about the importance of clean air. “Having access to clean air lowers the risk of respiratory issues and heart disease, improves cognitive health, and of course, makes you happier overall.” Actress and new mom Sofia Andres shared how LG’s multi-filtration technology helps her feel safe as well. “The multi-filtration technology gives me assurance and peace of mind, that even with the comings and goings of my babies, both human and canine/feline, the whole family is safe.”
So okay, are we sold? Are we checking in on our funds to see if we can afford it? To be honest, with how fast technology is going getting us one of these now looks more a lucrative investment as time will come these bad boys will get more and more expensive like our mobile phones. Especially now that clean air is such a valuable commodity.
Thank you to Omar, Millet and the rest of the team for giving me a chance to see LG AeroTower before it went out into the market. And LG Philippines for the continuous innovation that improves the Filipino lives! I claim to have an AeroTower by the end of the year!
